Prediction: 2-1
PSV
Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium will host Thursday’s Europa League game between Olympiakos Piraeus and PSV. The Thrylos aim to bounce back from a heart-breaking 2-1 loss to Panathinaikos, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. You should bear in mind that the Greek champions are eyeing their eighth consecutive win at home in all competitions. Both Valbuena and El Arabi are likely to return to the starting XI for the hosts.
PSV, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Den Haag at the weekend. The Dutch side continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, and given Olympiakos’ home record in European competitions, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Thrylos. The likes of Gakpo, Gotze, Ledezma, Madueke, Romero, and Viergever have all been struggling with injuries of late.
